ALBUQUERQUE >> A coalition of advocates and business leaders are calling for a new Albuquerque mental health hospital after a homeless man was shot and killed by police.

The group announced Tuesday it would be begin a push to build a hospital aimed at bringing about 100 beds to the area.

Meanwhile, a small protest erupted Tuesday after a federal marshal shot a man in southwest Albuquerque. Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office spokesman Aaron Williamson says the man was wanted on a number of charges, including aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.

It was not known if he was armed.

Advocates pushing for a new hospital say Albuquerque police officers -- who under fire for a rise in police shootings since 2010 -- blame the rise in deadly on encounters with residents battling mental illness.
